When in Edinburgh one cannot help but delve into it's rather bloody history, which feeds into my graveyard obsession quite nicely. Greyfriars Kirkyard was established in the 16th century, with over 500,000 bodies believed to be interred here, but with only 500 headstones. It's also home to the Covenanters Prison (pic 4) which has been locked to the public since 1990 for many reasons, one of which is apparently due to the amount of paranormal sightings which led to physical injuries. The man responsible for the imprisonment and death of the Covenanters, George MacKenzie, was buried in his own mausoleum (pic 5) a few feet away from the prison. He is also the alleged MacKenzie poltergeist which haunts the graveyard. Spooky stuff. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, the kirkyard is well worth the visit just for the history alone (including the body snatching that used to happen there) . . . #greyfriarskirkyard#cemetary#graveyard#covenanters#mackenziepoltergeist#historic#gruesomehistory#spooky#edinburgh#scotland

When you go to a festival in Scotland, you gotta take pictures before you go out, then add 5 layers and be sad no one gets to see your glittery pants, unless you want a kidney infection from being cold all day . So here's what I wish I had worn, but I'm almost 30 and somehow a lot more sensible than 10 years ago and I put on 3 jumpers and a scarf before I went dancing ✌🏻 . I am also trying to enjoy having a fat ass before gravity becomes my enemy . #festival#eh1festival#edinburgh#glitter#festivalfit#butt#booty#polepants#gothgirl#gothmum#happy#girlswholift

A few days ago I got my first tattoo and pretended I was living in Edinburgh again. Am I crying? Most likely. • 📍Cowan & Sons (@cowanandsons) Harissa Spiced Eggs: poached eggs in a smokey tomato, bean, chilli and garlic sauce topped with Greek yoghurt with sourdough bread on the side.

A five minute walk away from our old flat and the perfect spot for coffee or a white hot chocolate. • We were incredibly lucky to live in our flat for three years. The tattoo celebrates it. ❤️
